Replace Rear Nut HUb Hex P/N Ferrari 203780 Pozzy France and Ferrari Italy know this issue as soon you describe it. You can stay with this without dammage, but they can change this part during annual service.
Dude God Bless! Appreciate the thorough response from you and others. I'll take it to an indy shop next week and ask them to replace both rear nut hubs. I'm praying this will do the trick!
I have the same issue on my F8. If I let go of the accelerator and let it coast, I hear the squeaking. If I slowly coast through the neighborhood, it makes squeaking sounds like an old scooter. Took it to the official dealer (on warranty) twice and they just said it's stuff getting trapped in the brakes. Learned to live with it.
Man that’s unfortunate to hear that even at the dealer they can’t figure it out, even worse, seems like this issue carried over from the 488GTB and Pista and now went to the F8. Seriously Ferrari? Anyways, debating on whether I should have the Indie shop replace the hub nut as described above now or wait till my next service. Either way I’ll report back on this thread if and when I do it and if it does fix the sound.
I've had 4 cars with CCB's 2 Porsche and 2 Ferrari and they will squeal as they glaze up from light braking and dragging the brakes like in street driving sometimes but that was extremely are for me. My F8 is 4yrs old and does not make any squealing or chirping noise with the brakes. I truly believe that some cars when washed/detailed are getting tire shine on the rotor. This is extremely bad because as soon as your apply the brakes it does not wipe off the tire shine overspray but the instant heat opens pours and the silicone and tires shine gets bedded into the rotor and with the brake dust accumulates the pads vibrate and cause the squeals you guys hear. I only apply tire shine by spraying onto the sponge not near the wheel...actually I use a semi gloss tires dressing that squirts out onto the sponge. When I wash my cars I also wash the brakes...calipers and rotors with soap and water, including the wheel barrel/inside wheel...no wheel cleaner at all. Hose off the holes in the rotors too and brake dust gets in there and they can clog up. I've never have any issues like I read on these forums.
Trust me, I've done everything you mentioned. I've been reading this forum daily since I bought my car. I think I'm the worlds expert now on Ferrari chirping at coasting haha. There's some things that point to this being the brakes (chirping goes away when you brake actually) but things that don't point to brakes (chirping worse when turning left, only coming from one left sided axle, increasing with acceleration and then going away at higher speeds). I've washed my rotors, pressure sprayed them and even bought a non silicon tire dressing someone else recommend on this forum (probably you from years back ha). I've bedded the brakes by doing 10 stops from 80 to 20 mph. Slightly improved that night. Returned the next. Took it to the dealership for service and complained. They said the cleaned the brakes and it's gone. Came back on my drive home from the dealer. I've done everything and I'm encouraged and discouraged at the same time that this issue runs through many 488 gtbs, pistas and F8's. Go watch the CarWow guy do a video 7 years ago on the 488. He complains about the chirping. Watch Harry's garage review of the 488. You'll hear it chirping in the background. It's there. Some hear it more than others. Consider yourself lucky that Maranello spared you this Ferrari quirk! I'm gonna try the axle nut and see what happens...
